This is certainly worthwhile and interesting in a lot of ways, but I'm uncomfortable with calling it OpenStreetMap. OSM's raison d'etre is to be collaborative and purely factual, whereas this is providing "your own, private OpenStreetMap" (http://www.digital-democracy.org/blog/openstreetmap-without-servers/ http://www.digital-democracy.org/blog/openstreetmap-without-...). Naming it something like CommunityMap, while nodding to the fact it's based on parts of the OSM stack, would have been clearer and kinder.
(Also trademark issues, but let's not get into those here.)
